Bug#482441: openoffice.org-qatesttool: do we have sources and permission to distribute ojdbc14.jar?
Package: openoffice.org-qatesttool
Version: 20080321-1
Severity: normal
openoffice.org-qatesttool contains ojdbc14.jar which is the jdbc driver for
Oracle database.
The jar contains only built stuff, and looking on oracle website, it seems
that the licence isn't really free.
Should it really belong to main?
